Enfant au Biscuit





"Jean Renoir, the artist's second son, is represented here nibbling a
biscuit. When this fresh and apealing portrait was made, the artist was living
with his family in Montemarte, in an old house known as the Chateau des
Bruillards. Jean Renoir later became a famous film director. He was born in
1894, the year in wich his father, Peirre-August Renoir, made the
aquintance of Ambrose Vollard (Also Picasso's Dealer). Renoir drew this
lithograph in 1898"
